Author Hill will do reading
October 7, 2015 · 0 Comments
BookLore, in partnership with Theatre Orangeville, will be presenting a night with Lawrence Hill.
The author will be hosting a reading of his new novel, The Illegal, next month. Following the reading at Orangeville’s historic Opera House, Hill will delight audiences with a book signing and reception. The reading is set to take place Nov. 16 at 7 p.m.
The Illegal, coming out this fall, is Hill’s fourth novel and 10th book. The last novel released by Hill, The Book of Negroes, quickly became an international bestseller. The Book of Negroes also earned him various awards, including The Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and CBC Radio’s Canada Reads.
It was recently announced that Hill will be inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame. Each year, the Walk of Fame honours Canadians who have achieved excellence in different areas, ranging from music, TV or film to sports, science, innovation and literature. Those inducted will earn an engraved star, which is then embedded into the sidewalk near King Street West and Simcoe Street in downtown Toronto’s Entertainment District.
Tickets to the reading can be purchased online at theatreorangeville.ca or by calling our box office at 519-942-3423 or 1-800-424-1295.
